Combining Hybrid Marine Power with Alternative Low Emission Fuels
Diesel fossil fuel engines are emitting carbon dioxide (CO2) and other emissions that it generates, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), methane (CH4), particulate matter (PM) and black carbon (BC) since 1910. By use of fossil fuels the planet environment is damaged to significant levels. COP21 Climate change conference in Paris (December 2015) now has commitment from 195 countries to reduce Global Emissions.
The IMO (International Maritime Organisation) has devised various legislation which initially include implementation of Emissions Control Areas (ECA) and Sulphur Emissions Control Areas (SECA). Almost all of Europe, including the UK, is part of it.
Environmental impact of emissions has led industry players to look for low emissions alternative fuels such as LNG, LPG, Methanol, Ethanol, Butanol, Dimethyl ether (DME), Emulsified fuels or Electric / Hybrid technologies.
Captain Muhammad Shafique - Senior Lecturer, Petrochem - Warsash Maritime Academy
Muhammad joined the Merchant Navy (Tankers) in 1978. He has 37 Years of Industry experience onshore and offshore, including sailing on oil, chemical and gas tankers for 23 years. He has worked as General Manager of a ship management company and is an experienced Tanker surveyor. He has been lead of the project ‘LNG Bunkering, Motor Ways of Seas of European Union’ since 2013.
During nearly four decades of his service in the Maritime Industry, particularly in Oil and Gas transportation, he has observed the damage to planet from oil pollution and emissions. He is a researcher of LNG bunkering and alternative fuels for the maritime industry and is a member of the Special interest Group in IMarEST for alternative fuels.
He is a member of seven professional bodies including The Nautical Institute, Institute of Charted Ship-brokers, Institute of Logistics and Transport, Institute of Marine Engineering Science & Technology.
His passion to education and training has compelled him to move further in sector of Maritime Education and training; he has served as Senior Lecturer, Head of Industry Academies and Principal of Maritime College. He is currently the Courses Leader and Senior Lecturer, Petrochemical Section, of Southampton Solent University.
